Marvelous Molecules
What do you have in common with broccoli, bacteria and
an elephant? Find out at Marvelous Molecules - The Secret of Life, a new permanent
exhibit at the New York Hall of Science. Marvelous Molecules -- The Secret of Life
is the first ever hands-on exhibition exploring the shared chemistry of all living
things. Hovering above the exhibit floor like a futuristic space station is a giant
model of a glucose molecule magnified a quadrillion times (that's 10 followed by
15 zeroes!).
This highly visible icon serves notice to visitors that
they are about to enter a world whose size and scale is very different from their everyday experience. The exhibition's placement on the lower level of the Hall of
Science serves to link, both physically and figuratively, two other popular exhibitions
that explore subjects too small to see with the naked eye: Hidden Kingdoms -- The
World of Microbes and The Realm of the Atom. In addition, the New York Hall of Science
has temporary exhibits that will peak everyone's curiosity. When in New York, be
sure to give them a visit.
